I own a HP Pavillion a1600n with a PNY Nvidia GEfore7900 GS and 1 gig ram... i have to know if the following power supply will fit in my computer correctly... When i play oblivion n stuff i get random system shutdowns so i need to get a new PSU..I am a newb at figuring this stuff out but here....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189014and this is the site wer it says my systems specs...http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00757531%26lc=en%26cc=us%26dlc=en%26product=3245022%26lang=enPower suplly question to see if it fits my rigs specs
Good brand nice amps you should be ok but why did you get that with a pre-built psu it was bound to do that!Power suplly question to see if it fits my rigs specs

Hardware setup for a classic game
I recently downloaded a game called Battle Bugs. It's an old PC strategy game, loads of fun, back from the age before Pentium processors. It runs pretty well, but its setup screen is one of those that only accepts maybe 10 different sound cards, and mine are too new to be listed on that old setup screen, which basically just contains Adlib, Sound Blaster, Tandy Sensation, and a few others.. Is there anything I can do to get sound on this older game, or should I try to buy an old card?
$500 to upgrade computer - what should i buy?
Well last Sunday i went on holiday to America and my mum gave me $700 to spend; which ive already spend $20; anyways i go back to england in 5 weeks and i wish to spend the cash buying better stuff for my computer so i can play games.I have $500 to spend but i could bump it up to $600 if i wanted to; I have 3.3GHZ computer at home with less than 500mb RAM rubbish graphics card and thats all i can remember, so my main things would be 1) RAM 1-2GB should be enough right? cheapest RAM (link me to website)2) Video card - this is my next thing it needs to be as good as i can get so i can play games at the moment and games to come next year AGP OR PCI - E (Well i can get a really good one; but i have Christmas 07 to buy a video card worth 100-200 quid but honsetly if i buy a video card know whats the point buying one Christmas? and the other problem is i don't praticuly not want to get video card know and just buy a really good one Christmas; so in other words i want to buy it know and last until Christmas next year or Summer next year.)3) Mother board - Well if i want to get a PCI - E video card.What do you guys think will be cheapest for me to get then? Now Ram obivously; 1)AGP video card keep rest of cash and save; then next year get new mother board aswell as a new PCI - E video card2) now Ram, mother board PCI - E card, then next year upgrade PCI - E card and get a better one?is that all i need then lol? $500 to upgrade computer - what should i buy?
anyone?$500 to upgrade computer - what should i buy?
Your post is sort of...choppy. Anyway, since you only have 500$ I would get an AMD(Socket AM2) processor; people on this board will argue all day about how much better intel is, but AMD is budget and pretty good. Go ahead and get 2gigs. of RAM, and a 7950GT or something. Go to newegg.com and see what you can buy.
choppy? i would go to newegg but i have not idea what im looking for
You obviously have some idea of what you are doing, just find a motherboard, processor, ram, and video card; post the link here and we will tell you what you are doing wrong......I`m not good with helping people.....if you cant tell. Just go to newegg.com and look under computer hardware.
Well your in the UK so most of us cant really help you but maybe if you made a thead like, ''can some one help me make a $500 quid computer (btw I am in the uk)'' then the people from the UK would maybe come and help you.
kk will do i dont need a new prosser if mine is 3.3GHZ... is ram video card and maybe motherboard the only things i need for games to run really good?

Then build it when your in America, every one not in America has to pay alot more for computer parts generally.
Well If your processor is Intel, I recomend you to buy 2 GB of RAM Corsair Value Ram DDR2 667, Videocard MSI Nvidia 8600 GTS, Motherboard EVGA Nvidia Nforce 680i. All this in newegg or tigerdirect. This for 500But my advise Buy a videocard EVGA 8800 GTS 320MB + Power Suply 500 W Sli Certified + EVGA Nforce 680I + 2GB of RAM DDR2 667 any brand but not the cheapest one (read reviews). This for 700 US$

Ipod nano not compatible with vista 64?
I have vista 64 bit, and I my ipod nano, fails to recognize both itunes and my computer. I have the lastest itunes software too..I even tried chaging usb ports, , but still no luck, I even tried reseting the ipod.Ipod nano not compatible with vista 64?
Why are you running the 64 bit version anyway? Ipod nano not compatible with vista 64?
becuase it came with my computer.
Weird, maybe the itunes is not compatible yet with vista 64 bit.
[QUOTE=''Andrew0987'']Why are you running the 64 bit version anyway? [/QUOTE]Cause it works, and works quite well :D I've had zero problems, no looking back!OP, sorry bro, I'm running Vista 64-bit on my desktop, but I'm not using iTunes, I can't confirm anything for you. BUT, from googling what some other people are saying, apparently it does work, for example''iTunes works fine on 64-bit Windows. And so does the iPod. I've been sync'ing my iPod on 64-bit Windows without a hitch, it's just the iPhone that doesn't work.'' There is no iPhone sync support from Apple for 64-bit yet, which it sounds like has alot of people upset and conspiracy theories have started (trying to undermine/discredit Microsoft for example) :PBut iTunes, sounds like it should work...
never mind, I found out, why it isnt recognizing.... the USB cable that came with the ipod is busted! I have to push in hard to be able to connect it. usb cable is busted.
Just that, iTunes 7 sucks

Radeon X1950 Pro or Geforce 8600GT ?
Hi, I am going to upgrade my pc soon and I've seen a Jetway X1950 Pro for ?0 and a Geforce 8600GT for ?0 and I was wondering which one to get. I know that the X1950 is faster but the 8600 has Directx 10. I'll be looking to play new games like Bioshock and C%26C 3, Company of heroes and the forthcoming update etc..
Thanks for any info and opinions anyone can give.
Radeon X1950 Pro or Geforce 8600GT ?
X1950Pro.Radeon X1950 Pro or Geforce 8600GT ?
I am after graphics rather than stupid amount of frames per second or insane high resolutons that my monitor can't support. Would the recommendation still be the same? Directx 10 looks like it has some special graphics, like that thing in World in Conflict where the wind and vehicles affect smoke etc...
Seriously do you even know how well the 8600GT will play WiC Dx 10?
i would go with the x1950pro and what size monitor do u have by the way
x1950Pro is cheaper and better
19 inch widescreen 1440x900.
So why is it better?
just look at the benchmaks and you will see...
X1950 Pro.
[QUOTE=''U1'']19 inch widescreen 1440x900.

[/QUOTE]You'll be able to set the options higher and play at a smoother fps.
For something that's out of date out of the box, even ?0 seems expensive. Meanwhile people are saying that the 8600 is slow, and that the best card to get is around ?00, which is the same price as the Xbox 360 will be soon. It seems to me that there isn't a sensible choice, only big compromise if you don't want to pay big prices...
The x1950pro is a very nice card that will serve you well.
save some mor mony and but a 8800GTS 320/ 640 dependes on your res.

It offers a lot of power for a fairly low price. If you want to get a decent DX10 card, it will cost a lot more - around ?80 for an 8800GTS.
I'm getting a 8600GT on monday, it performs about in pair (better in some cases) with the 7900/x1950, but the drivers can get better as it's a very new card, it uses less power, supports DX10... what else do you want?
